Someone put a quote on the SHIII forums a few years back, I forget who had said it in real life, and the exact words, but the gist of it has stuck with me on every patrol since...

"My job is not to look for a fair fight. My job is to destroy the enemy's commerce." which to me means "I don't shoot at ships that shoot back unless I have to."
